Tooth is my pony, but he’s his own boss. I take care of him and in exchange he lets me ride him. I wasn’t surprised when Tooth first communicated with me. All I knew was that with Tooth, it was different. I loved him the minute I saw him. Of course we understood each other.

Twelve-year-old Folly is angry and grieving for her mum. She isn't ready for Dad's plans for a new life in Auckland with his new girlfriend. So Folly runs away with the one friend who truly understands: her wise pony, Tooth. With her mother's ashes in her backpack, Folly sets off to the fabled Cape Reinga, the northernmost point of New Zealand. Through tourist towns and wilderness, across beaches, roads and forest tracks, Folly and Tooth find both adventure and hardship. But then a spur-of-the-moment choice sets danger on their tail. Girl and horse must fight to survive together – to the very end of the road.

Maria de Jong grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand before settling in Italy. Initially she taught English in Turin, where she also designed and made theatre costumes. She began writing stories for middle grade readers while working as a translator in Rome, but things only got serious after yet another relocation, this time to Amsterdam where she completed her debut novel, Ride North. She is now back in Italy for good, living in Sardinia and concocting more adventures for her inner twelve-year-old.
